The DeKalb County Fair will be held July 18 – 23. Click HERE to check out the official DeKalb County Fair Website.
Alexandria is home to the DeKalb County Fair, known affectionately to locals as “The Grandpa Fair of the South”. One of the oldest running fairs in the United States, the fair has been offering old-fashioned fun and good-natured competition since 1856.
“New this year at the Lion’s Pavilion is the Lip Sync Battle. Made famous by LL Cool J, Monday night’s competition will offer a ton of entertainment as 20 or more will be performing to their favorite song vying for a place in Friday night’s finale where the winner will walk away with the Lip Sync Battle trophy and $250 cash! First runner-up will receive $150 cash with second runner up taking home a $50 cash prize. And who decides the winners? YOU DO!”
This year’s pageants sponsored by DTC Communications. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night winners will receive a $50 cash prize from DTC!
So whether you’re out with your friends, on a date with your sweetheart, or having a fun night out with your family…the DeKalb County Fair welcomes you back each and every year as you build your own traditions along with us. We’ll see you every summer under carnival lights and the smell of popcorn, cotton candy and excitement.
